RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
War and Peace
A soldier’s duty is survival
When he marches off to war
She is not to ask questions
What are we fighting for?
A soldier is but a pawn
She does what she is told
He is not to follow instincts
She is never to be bold
When a soldier becomes a hero
It is often to save face
The commander gave an order
The wrong time or place
All soldiers are courageous
Just to do what they must do
Just to be where they must be
Is an act of courage too
It is better to be raised in peace
Than to be praised in war
